The boom in real estate through
out the West is likely in the long ran
70 do mere harm than good.
The unexpected suspension Of coal
mining in the anthracite regions has
surprised the $4,000 workmen there
who expected 10 per cent. ad-
vance.
II is expected that the General
Executive Committee of the Knights
OF Labor, will suspend the National
Carpet Workers Assembly, which
has over 10000 members, divided
into sixteen local assemblies.
Quite a number OF new national or
nranizations Of labor will be started
during the next three months.
The Development OF the natural gas
fields of Indiana, are attracting the
attention of hundreds OF manufact-
urers, who will remove there, if land
is not too high. The Cleveland ship
yards are overrun with orders. The
Schuylkill region has 100 colleries,
the Leigh region 81. and the Wyom-
ing region 100, making in all 28l.
The building trades in all cities,
east and west, are crowded with
work that will continue until winter.
Material of all kinds is firm in price,
and not too high to discourage in
vestments.
Railroad construction, so far this
year, has reached 100 miles.
The business prospects of the
country were never brighter and the
abundance Of money will prevent
any set back, unless an unwise spec
ulative movement in the necessities
OF life should set in. Such a move
ment, however, would be productive
of good results in the way of sting
lating a greater production Of agri-
cultural products.

MONUMENT TO COLFAX

The Odd Fellows of the United
States on Thursday last dedicated at
indianapolis. monument to the
memory of the late Vice President
Colfax. Its cost was over $4,000,
all Of which was contributed by Odd
Fellows in amounts varying from
80 cents to 800. The late Vice
President first championed the es-
adjustment of the Daughters of Re-
bskah before the Sovereign Grand
Lodge of 1852, and after his efforts
had been crowned with success he
wrote the ritual. The movement
which reached elimination today
in the unwilling of the monument
was inaugurated shortly after his
sudden death, and the amount of
money required was secured without
difficulty. The sculptor was Loredo
Topt, of Illinois. The pedestal is of
Oak Hill Me- granite, with triangu-
lar base, the sides being eight feet
two inches in length. The three
bases are of the same general shape
with the name "Colfax" on the third
base, in raised, polished letters.
Above the base is die, cap, plinth
and three columns in one, terminal
ing in ornamental capitals upon
which the statue rests. On the cap,
Immediately above the die, are
the letters 81. o. o. F." with the
three links and other symbols. One
side of the die has inserted in it a
bronze medallion of "Rebekah at
the Well, while the other two sides
are ornamented with granite
carvings OF encampments and patri-
arch militant emblems. The hight
of the pedestal is eleven feet eight
inches. The statue is OF bronze and
heroic in proportions, being eight
feet in hight. The pose is simple
and unrestrained, representing the
deceased statesman with a roll of
notes in his left hand and the right
hanging with open palm as though
he were pausing in the midst OF a
speech. On the countenance is the
genial smile so familiar to the friends
OF the deceased. Mrs. Colfax IA
vored the sculptor with several calls
during the progress of the work and
expressed herself as being we'll
pleased with the pose and proper
lions of the figure. The location, in
the southwest corner of University
park, facing Meridian street church,
was granted by special act OF the
Legislature.

TIE CATTLE ROUNDUP
The Most successfnI This sPrin q
Than for Years.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 2l.-A spec
ial dispatch from Quanah, Tex, says:
The great cattle roundup is operat-
ing in this vicinity at present and the
cattle men report more successful
gather on cattle this spring than for
several years past. Cattle are also
in better condition than they have
been of late years at this season, and
the calfcrop is considerably heavier.
All these favorable conditions can
be accounted for by the compare
lively mild dry weather which pre-.
vailed during last winter and the
dryness Of last fall, which caused the
grass to cure on the ground in the
manner Of hay, instead OF rolling, as
woul have been the case had
the weather been wet when
the first frosts came. This past con e
dition Of things, together with the
early spring ard the copious showers
that have fallen in this locality re-
Gently, have been very conducive to
the cattle interest in preventing loss
in wintering, in the natural increase
of the stock and the condition of
beeves Tor the market.

who favored holding a session on
